This new internet will also be used as the backbone communication system inter-connecting future quantum computers via routed quantum information transfer.
The Quantum Internet paradigm has taken large steps forward in the past few years, particularly with the spectacular success of Micius - the first quantum-enabled satellite launched in 2016 [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}. Building on the pioneering Micius mission, some twenty-plus satellite missions are now under development [5]} - some at the advanced design phase.
